You Know You're A Redneck When.....

Or should I say....you know your children are rednecks when.... They and their friends concoct a zipline out of a black metal folding chair, rope, some belts and trees. There it is suspending in the air....just waiting for someone to take a ride.

So there goes Drew....yes her feet are dangling!

There goes Elli....yes she is suspended in the air. Not so safe you say.....yes I know I know! That's why the big sister is standing there ready to save the day. Did the zipline actually zip? Well.....not really. They took turns sitting and dangling, and then the big girls would hold on to the smaller children and sort of scoot them along the rope. Addi and her friend Victoria are the creators of our new yard art....zipline, and to that I say....great minds think alike!

About Me

Why I Think Out Loud...

I started journaling several years ago when I realized that I couldn't possibly remember every milestone, cute phrase, wonderful expression, heart tugging word or life changing action that occurs within my own family. I had to face the fact that my brain has become fuller and fuller with each baby born and each day that passes; and now it's overloaded. I find myself having to write down everything from a daily "To Do" list to much more important things like the first time my son kissed me on the lips. I don't want to take anything for granted and chance that I might not remember. I journal in a notebook, in my own handwriting, with the intent and hope that someday my sweet buttercups will cherish having these journals in their mama's own handwriting. I started this blog, because there are some things that are meant to be shared and some things that I hope someone will read and enjoy. Maybe I can learn something from a reader or two as well.
